Might be worth mentioning that, for use in the garden with an extension lead an RCD is a worthwhile (essential) safety measure. Older houses don't tend to have them in the consumer unit so a plug-in one is needed at the inside end of the extension.
Thanks a lot for the video. What's your thought on Joe Root's "Ball launcher" and Joe Root's "Ball feeder"? I liked this Speed buddy bowling machine, but the lack of battery support is a game changer for me unfortunately.
Really enjoyed this video. Found it very informative. Just wondered what your thoughts are on the Heater Slider and Paceman 176 machines. Out of these and the Speed Buddy, which would you go for?
Good morning, Hope you are well? Thanks for the e-mail, and thank you for the feedback regard the content, much appreciated. We have stocked a mixture of Ball feeder machines in the past few years; and have certainly found recently the Speed Buddy to be robust, and a good all-round product in terms of feed, pace and consistency etc. All three bits of kit that you have highlighted would be good options for you in terms of offering a useable training aid, with the Speed Buddy and Paceman options standing out as better choices in terms of quality. Hope that helps. Kind regards, Serious Cricket
That is something I would really like for the youngster , just one , concern is it looked to bowl the ball a bit slow. would you know if it bowls it at the speed of a 13 yr old good bowler or is it possibly a bit slower than that
Hi Jason, on the medium and high setting, the ball travels well over 22 yards and would think this would be an ideal pace for 13-year-olds to practice against! Another thing to consider is that you can always reduce the distance from 22 yards - this will make the ball come on more quickly and reduce the reaction times for batters, making it more challenging.
@@SeriousCricketTV thanks for the reply , maybe that video looks a bit deceptive , cause it looks very slow . What im trying to achieve with him is to stop this instinct to jump away out of line when its thrown a bit harder . im looking for something that is fairly fast but will pitch in the same spot over and over . The thinking is if i can get him to begin padding up to those balls he will see he wont get hurt or rather his more likely to get hurt not getting in line . Do you think this bowling device would be able to do that .Does it maybe say anywhere on the box as to what speed it leaves the machine at ? Once again thanks for great videos and advice P.S as im writing this im thinking to myself it needs to be fast enough that it will activate that instinct to jump away
@@SeriousCricketTV hope im not breaking the rules or something , but also totally unrelated to the bowling machine . where can i get one of those cricket balls with the finger markings on the for the younsters to learn how to grip the ball in order to learn how to bowl the different types of balls
Am not sure buying a machine is going to help here. He needs to feel comfortable playing the ball first and then you can throw or bowl at him faster. On the front foot and back foot, start by throwing tennis balls, then incredi-balls and then when he feels more comfortable move on to cricket balls. Unfortunately, it doesn’t say on the box what speed it leaves the machine at.

I’ve had this for about a year and it’s really helped improve my batting, lovely stuff rich, keep it up👍
It's a great bit of equipment!

Are the deliveries consistent? From the first part the video when it was on medium it looked like the ball delivery was varied??
Anyone purchased it from US? How did you resolve the power connector issue, let me know which converter/adapter worked?
Hi,
I am afraid we don't ship to the US so can't offer a solution i am afraid.
Team Serous
You can just use any standard international to us power adapter. They r cheap as off of Amazon or ebay
Product purchasing link pls pls
can you also review something for kids above 5 years of age?
can you comment on the max speed? Have a 15 year old boy, just wondering if its still gonna be testing for him. Cheers
I think it's about 120km/h on max level
Does it have to be plugged in to work
Hi Sam, the speed buddy runs off mains power only
Thanks a lot for the video. What's your thought on Joe Root's "Ball launcher" and Joe Root's "Ball feeder"? I liked this Speed buddy bowling machine, but the lack of battery support is a game changer for me unfortunately.
can you use it on your own? for example, load the balls... set a timer and then face 6 balls without another person?
Yes, this machine has a self feeder so you can use it on your own 👍
Product model name or amazon link can you share me

@@SeriousCricketTV thank you for replying. Really appreciate your advice.
Can we replace the ball?
Does it do spin?
would love for you to do a review on the feed buddy pro and also some of the Joe root machine
Feed buddy pro review is coming in the new year!
@@SeriousCricketTVAny update on the Ceed buddy pro machine ? I’m looking to purchase for my 12 year old son but I’m worried it will be to slow.
What is the maximum speed this can throw?
Around 90 kilometers an hour
The camera angle could have been better to give us an actual idea of the speed and swing. All we saw was a batsman.
Hi @joydutta606, thanks for the feedback! A better camera angle is shown at 8:20 which shows the swing :)
How does the speed buddy cmpare agains tthe heat slider ?
Great video, when will the new gray nics series be out?
coming soon!
I'm interested in the feed buddy pro. Would there be a review.of it?
It's average at best. Get this much better
Can you guys please review the new kookaburra bat range for 2023?
Pending... ⌛
How much does the box weigh?
Why
Price plz
Can you do a review of the feed buddy pro pls
coming soon!
